Orb Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I felt like I was going somewhere and it felt good. Now today I feel like crap and I forgot what the good feeling thing was I was going towards. 🙃       Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 All this "work" seems like bs sometimes. It's just vague and not measurable. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone.

Orb Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Keep doing self inquiry but it's futile, can't see your own face. Ahhh it's annoying! 😡     Edited January 21, 2023 by Orb Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment.

Phil Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Self Inquiry’s not about seeing your own face. That it is is the bs, and is not’ the work’. Quote Mention YouTube  Website  Sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 @Phil idk man it's just bs, like this whole idea of being aware of being aware, how to hell can you be aware of something that has no qualities? No sensation can be the True Self, yet awareness can't be found because it doesn't have any quality. So I feel stuck now. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation.

Bread crumbs are always there if you're breathin. Quote Mention  Youtube Channel  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 @Mandy thanks for bringing that up, I still feel like crap but I'm just riding it out. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone.
